Subject: Re: [TSSP] Loss due to ultrasonic mechanical vibration of secondary?
all, i may be way out here, but here goes: could a laser be bounced off of the secondary windings and the end of a fiber optic cable be mounted so that the reflected beam entered it? would the jitter of the light be the amount of movement or would it be the actual frequency of the coil? i remembered reading of this setup used to measure vibrational movements from earthquake echo's. these winding movements aren't strong enough to break the thin layer of insulating enamel that i spray my coils with, no loose windings. marc > > You're right, I think the forces could be calculated, but I don't > know how to go on to calculate the movement and energy loss. > > > CHeers, > -- > Paul Nicholson, > Manchester, UK. > --
